It's not too late to love again

Chapter 207
Yu Meifeng passed out drunk, sleeping on a chair and snoring. She didn't know that her two children were almost in danger due to her momentary recklessness.

The two men had hot noodle soup to eat, and they quickly shifted their attention. They poured it into their mouths, and kept nodding while eating, saying that the taste of this noodle was really good.

One bowl was not enough, so Xiaoying cooked two more bowls.She was trying her best to deal with these two men carefully, and she had nothing to ask for, as long as the two of them finished eating quickly and left quickly.

But for the second bowl, the two men ate more slowly, complaining from time to time about their mission this trip.

The man in the leather jacket had a fat head and big ears. He took a sip of the soup, smacked his lips and said, "Damn it, it would be nice to be at home. My mother's sausages are delicious..."

Another man with a mustache also had a look of resentment on his face: "We came out this trip to earn money, but the fucking old man Wei didn't show up, and even his wife disappeared... It made our trip for nothing, How bad luck!"

"That old bastard is really capable of tossing around, and he didn't go home during the Chinese New Year. We miscalculated this time. It's not easy to deal with business when we go back to the city. I can only get the money we agreed on. I really don't want it!" Poke the noodles in the bowl.

The two of them appearing in the small town at this moment is quite a strange thing. What is the purpose of the uninvited guests here?Who is the old man Wei they are talking about?
These are not things Xiaoying should care about. She feels that these two are not good people, and she dare not look over there, so she can only sit aside with Douzi.

After all, Douzi was only ten years old. Sometimes he couldn't hold back his curiosity and hugged his sister's arm, but his little head couldn't help but look at the table next to him.Xiaoying hugged Douzi in her arms and whispered into his ear, "Don't look, if you mess with them, they will be in trouble... Be good, you go upstairs first, and my sister will tell you to come down later."

What Xiaoying is most worried about is her younger brother. She is young, but she is very protective of her. If something happens, her younger brother will be easily injured if he rushes out.

If Yu Meifeng was awake and saw all this, she would be really glad that she gave birth to such a kind and sensible son and daughter.

Douzi didn't want to go upstairs, but he had to listen to what his sister said, so he went up obediently.But this little guy is not that stupid, he won't really leave his sister alone, he's just going to rescue the soldiers.

For Douzi, Fandi is a rescuer.When Fandi tried to stop his stepfather two days ago, Douzi felt that Fandi was very majestic. Although his leg was injured, Douzi still believed that Fandi would definitely help him and his sister.

Children who grow up in such a family have a sense of crisis early in childhood.

In the shop downstairs, Xiaoying was still anxiously waiting for the two men to leave.

The man in leather and the man with the mustache each ate two bowls of noodles and were full. They were picking their teeth with toothpicks on the table when the man in leather's cell phone rang.

The man in the leather jacket showed a very bored expression, but he answered the phone in a very humble tone. It can be imagined that the person on the other end of the phone must be very powerful in front of him.

After being scolded, the man in leather hung up the phone.Mustache asked nervously: "How is it, what did the boss say?"

"Damn, what else can I say, scolded me so badly, I have to be scolded when I go back to the city. Anyway, we didn't find old man Wei this time, so we don't want to have a good life when we go back."

"His grandma's old bastard, if we brothers catch him, chop off his feet first!"

"Chop a fart." The man in leather spit on the ground: "Just do it and throw it into the sea to feed the fish, save trouble!"

"..."

The conversation between the two men made Xiaoying's face turn pale, and her heart skipped a beat... It's not that she has never seen someone who speaks cruelly when joking, but for the two in front of her, Xiaoying feels that they are really not just talking, maybe they are really murderers.

Xiaoying's face turned pale, but she still forced a smile and asked boldly, "Both of you... the total is 32 yuan..."

As soon as the words fell, the man in leather slapped the table violently, and yelled at Xiaoying with a fierce face: "Are you fucking looking for death? How dare you ask me for money?"

Xiaoying was terrified by the yelling. She didn't want to kill her, but since it's the Chinese New Year, since she has a business, she should collect money, otherwise the omen is not good... Besides, if Xia Zhiqiang comes back tomorrow, if he finds out about this, he will definitely be furious again .Anyway, there is no good fruit for her to eat, so she can only bite the bullet and ask the other party to pay the bill.

Xiaoying pinched her thigh fiercely, forcing herself to wake up, with a smile on her plain and pretty face, suppressing the fear: "We are just a small business, please be considerate and considerate of the two bosses, 32 yuan, for you it's just..."

Being so humble and cautious, just to get 32 ​​yuan, Xiaoying's heart is suffering, but she has to force herself when she thinks of her stepfather getting angry.

The mustache glanced at Xiaoying disdainfully, and pulled the man in the leather jacket: "It doesn't matter if you give her a few dollars." Then, he dropped a bunch of crumpled and scattered banknotes on the ground...

"I've given you the money, it's more than 32 yuan, don't say that our brother eats the overlord's meal, hahahaha..." The mustache and the man in the leather jacket laughed at the same time, so arrogant that it made people want to go up and smash their yellow mouths. ah.

The money was paid, but in such an insulting way.

Xiaoying looked down at the banknotes on the ground, clenched her hands tightly, and there was a flame in her heart... Why did it happen?They were just strangers, she carefully cooked noodles for them and served them, how could they humiliate them before they left?
Xiaoying still doesn't know that there are people in this world who enjoy bullying others and like to be strong and bully the weak. On a whim, even people they don't know can bully each other to get a little perverted pleasure.

With indescribable bitterness in her heart, Xiaoying finally swallowed her words... What else can she do besides endure?Can she survive the current situation?
Xiaoying finally went to pick up money...

At the stairs in the corner, a pair of sharp and unusual eyes looked at all this, but they didn't make any movement, and pressed Douzi's shoulder, signaling him not to move or make a sound.

No one knew what Fan Dizi was thinking, he looked very calm, as if he was watching a TV series.But when he saw Xiaoying's next move, a faint smile appeared in his eyes...

Xiaoying picked up the money, but she used a broom to sweep the money into the dustpan and then picked it up and put it on the chair.In this way, she didn't have to bend over and squat down, which not only preserved her dignity, but also received the money.Even Fandi couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart: What a Xiaoying!

The man in leather and the mustache also showed surprise when they saw this. They felt very disappointed that they didn't see the expected scene, and they left without saying a word.

After finally seeing off the two men, Xiaoying let out a long breath and sat down on the chair, only then did she feel that her vest was cold.

She is just a person, her mother is drunk and sleeping, her stepfather is not around, and her younger brother is young... When facing a crisis, she can only rely on herself.If she hadn't been tolerant just now, she would definitely have caused trouble.

Xiaoying's intuition was right, but fortunately she chose to swallow her anger, because these two men were not ordinary gangsters, they were sent here by someone to look for Wei Lizhong, and the order they received was...to kill Wei Lizhong.

Both of them have guns on their bodies, and whoever provokes them will be unlucky.Although Xiaoying's approach seems a little weak, it is actually a wise and strong approach.

"Sister..." Douzi rushed over and plunged into his sister's arms, his little head twitched and his body was still shaking violently. He was really terrified just now, worried that something might happen to his sister.

Xiaoying herself was also afraid, so she gently patted her brother's back to comfort her, but she herself was speechless.

Xiaoying turned her head inadvertently and saw Fandi limping over.

By the way, Fandi... when did he come down?Did he stand there looking at it for a long time?He saw it but couldn't hide, let the two men bully her like that, throw the money on the ground for her to pick up, and Fandi pretended he didn't see it?
Xiaoying was so stuffy in her heart that she couldn't tell why, but she just felt uncomfortable and sour...

Glancing at Fandi, Xiaoying turned her head away and stopped looking at him, ignoring his existence.

Fandi was slightly taken aback... It's strange, every time Xiaoying sees him, she greets him warmly, but now she just ignores him, who is she showing her face to?
"Ahem... that... I..."

Before Fandi finished speaking, Xiaoying took her younger brother's hand, stood up, walked past Fandi with a straight face, took the dustpan containing the money, and sat there counting the money.

They were all loose change of one or five yuan, and they were crumpled. Xiaoying and Douzi unfolded them one by one and put them away.

"Sister, the total is 38 yuan, hehe... 32 yuan more than 4 yuan."

"Well, it's four yuan more."

"Then can I save the extra four yuan? Can I save it to buy a scarf for my sister?" Douzi's bright eyes were full of hope, which was unbearable.

Xiaoying's nose was sore, and the soreness in her heart surged again, she touched her younger brother's hair affectionately and said, "Okay, I will save the extra four yuan for you, but you don't need to buy a scarf for my sister, save it for me." You buy some snacks to eat..."

What kind of snacks can you get for 4 yuan?How much can you buy?But it is very precious to beans.Living in this family, sometimes, let alone four yuan, when Xia Zhiqiang met a gangster, he could even plunder the change from Xiaoying and Douzi to buy cigarettes for himself...

On this New Year's Eve, there was no festive atmosphere in this family. They were burdened with hardships that many people would not understand. They lived in the sunshine, but were born in the gloom.

Fandi thinks he is a hard-hearted person, but at the moment he can't help but feel heavy, as if something is pressing and uncomfortable... It has been many years since I have seen such a sad thing as Xiaoying and his brother.Especially Xiaoying, she has suffered more grievances and pains, but she has always used her kind heart to protect her younger brother and mother, and she can taste the pain by herself, and after tasting it, she can face life with a smile. With such willpower, even Vatican will be impressed.

The siblings were busy clearing the table, and Fandi was left out in the cold.Xiaoying was stunned and didn't say a word to him, pretending not to see him.

Fandi looked at Xiaoying dangling in front of his eyes with a dark face, and said after a while, "Those two men had guns on their bodies just now, and I'm still injured."

Xiaoying actually understood the two nonsensical words.But in fact, this is not the main reason why Fandi didn't come out. The most important thing is... those two men may be gangsters, if you know him... in his current situation, it would not be a good thing.

"Gun?" Xiaoying's eyes widened in horror, and then she showed a look of joy, her pretty face glowed, her fair skin was faintly pink, and her burning eyes looked at Fandi affectionately: "Then you just now Is it because I saw that they had guns, so I didn't stand up to help me? You are not such a cold-blooded person, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry... Are you... hungry? Do you want to eat more?"
